Fuck the DVD, get the Blu-Ray. The picture and sound quality is IMMACULATE on that thing.

That's true.

I'm still used to saying DVD. That's weird.

You are like my mother. She only just stopped saying CD when talking about DVDs and she can never remember Bul-ray is a thing. Don't even get me started on trying to explian streaming.

Just watched Matrix and I'm satisfied. That movie was pretty good.

Friendly tip, stop there.

Don't waste your time with the other two...Though the Animatrix s worth it.

Maybe get Enter the Matrix for the world's greatest multiplayer

Understandable. I've been saying "On Video" in regards to home releases a lot lately.

Actually look up the one good sequence from 2 on youtube or something, it starts with the mansion fight scene and it's pretty awsome

Aside from The Departed I have also seen Cape Fear and Shutter Island.

On another note I watched an old Kung Fu movie over the weekend. The Five Deadly Venoms. It was pretty good although the sound effects and the subtitles they used were kind of cheesy.

The Five Deadly Venoms also had an insane sequel called Return of the Five Deadly Venoms aka Crippled Avengers, where four disabled martial artists seek vengeance on the ones that crippled them. It is highly fucking entertaining. I own both of them on DVD. :)

I've come down with a cold for the past few days (but I am better now so don't worry) and during that time I saw a few video game based movies. The best ones (or rather the least worst ones) included the first Mortal Kombat, Ratchet & Clank, the first Tomb Raider, and Warcraft

I also saw Assassin's Creed, and HOLY SHIT that movie fucking sucked!

Are there ANY good video game movies? Or at least ones that people actually found themselves liking?

(One exception being the Japanese Ace Attorney movie)

Uh... there was... um...

shitallthegoodonesarejustanime

Well when I say "actually found themselves liking" I can mean genuinely liked or guilty pleasures too. Anyone got any of the latter?

My guilty pleasure video game movies are the Resident Evil movies

Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter count as that much, but besides that I can't think of any.

Haven't seen the Street Fighter movie, but I'll admit I think that the first Mortal Kombat movie was legitimately good for a pseudo-campy action/kung-fu movie. As for the Resident Evil movies...well, I'll admit to genuinely liking the first one, if only due to the fact that by itself it could easily fit into the games, and it was a decent show of what the games were about. But the rest? Yeah, guilty pleasures.

I'd say the first Tomb Raider movie was legitimately good as well. So...Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider would likely be the only video game movies that you could say were any good. Max Payne was disappointing, Prince of Persia was trying to mix Sands of Time and Warrior Within and bungled it, and I won't even go into the Dungeon Siege, House of the Dead, or Postal movies. And of course there's the Mario Bros. movie, which is its own trainwreck that you can't turn away from.

I've heard good things about Warcraft, though. >.>;

Edit: Watched a movie on Netflix called "The Rezort", which is about a post-zombie apocalypse world where humanity survived, and an enterprising businesswoman gathered the remaining zombies onto an isolated island so people can spend money to hunt and kill zombies for whatever their reasons are. Kind of had a Jurassic Park vibe at times, since safety and security fails and the zombies overtake the island, forcing the survivors to find a way off. Still, the movie moves slowly for the first 40 minutes, and ultimately it's a disappointing watch. You should pass on watching it; I feel like I could've spent my time better with something else.
